Hi!
I've just noticed that my front fog lights are dead...
The rear ones are fully working though...
I've checked the nr1 fuse and it is fine.
Where the fault can be?
cheers

bulbs,light switch are 100% fine... must check the wiring then, but don't have time to take the front of the car apart at the moment...

Rear fogs and front fogs are on different circuits and use different contacts in the switch but if you've checked the switch, bulbs and fuse are ok it must be wiring

i know they use different contacts in the switch, just thought they engage the same circuit...
anyway the only thing left is the wiring... got to take off the front bumper someday...

hi there
did they ever work?
a uk ghia spec'd car didn't have front fog lights. maybe someone has fitted the fog units to your car and nnot 'wired' them up?
the handbook states r9 and r35 relays are for the fog lights.
